Panic, Fear, Disbelief: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine Could Prompt Humanitarian, Refugee Crisis

This clip is from the Feb. 24, 2022 broadcast.

"Democracy Now!" speaks about the looming humanitarian crisis in Ukraine with Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, who recently met with civilians on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine and urges world leaders to consider the human cost of war and work toward a ceasefire and diplomatic solution. "A cruel military onslaught is engulfing millions," says Egeland. "It will lead to untold suffering in Ukraine but also refugee flows in the region."
